I hope this is okay as it says...and Everything Else. Would anyone have an idea of a good hotel to stay at in Phnom Penh for a couple of nights in mid-Dec. Thinking of good location, clean and safe. Maybe up to $100 a night or so.

Just an FYI for anyone applying for the DTV visa through the soft power track. It's been a nightmare. My embassy is NYC and the requirements change frequently. The cooking course I scheduled states that their 2 week intensive course is eligible but the embassy now requires a course duration of at least 6 month.

Per Thai immigration I live in a unique timeline (yes I know what the Thai says but still, I may have a case for an eternal multi entry)

Thanks in advance for your advice everyone!

So I’m not looking to stay in Thailand long term, at least not yet - I’m just figuring out my extension option so I can stay until my lease ends Jan 14 and complete 3 months here.

My current 60 day visa on arrival ends Dec 6. I could do the 30 day extension for 1,900 baht until Jan 6 but that leaves me with 8 days and I’d like to have a bit more flexibility to stay until the end of my lease.

So it seems I’m left with either the border run to Laos option which appears to cost roughly 6,300 - OR I could also fly roundtrip to visit friends in Malaysia for 5,500. But that also assumes that doing the border run or flight to Malaysia would actually give me a new 60 days and not just 30 which isn’t enough.

Is there another simple option here?

Will I definitely 100% get another 60 days and not 30 days by going to Malaysia or Laos?

The last day for accepting in-person applications at Vientiane + Savannakhet is 20 December 2024.

Again, the Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 26 November 2024 with 10 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa.
